Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to the structure of a nail to be driven into wall surfaces etc. of a building, in particular into a base material such as expanded concrete which is soft and porous.
- Old-type nails are inadequate for this purpose because, having smooth circumferential surfaces around their shanks, they often come away from the base material into which they have been driven.
- In order to prevent this a nail has been developed which is provided, around the circum-. ferential surface of the root of its shank with means to stop the nail coming away from the base material into which it is driven, said means including spiral grooves, ring-shaped grooves or protruding ribs. Such means are adequate to prevent the nail coming away from a base material such as wood but an adequate countering force can hardly be expected in soft, porous materials, such as expanded concrete, because of the small degree of friction between the nail and the base material.
- One type of nail suitable for use in soft porous material is described in DE-A-1 625 348. This known nail comprises a pair of nail shank pieces united face to face at the head part of the nail, the nail shank pieces have mutually inclined surfaces formed on facing sides of their tip parts thereby forming an outwardly flared opening between the facing inclined surfaces; means positioned between the nail shank pieces for spreading the same apart during driving in of the nail; and a clamping ring put around the outer circumference of the nail adjacent the tip thereof, said clamping ring being adapted to move axially along the nail towards the head part as the nail is driven in.
- In this known nail the means for spreading the nail shank pieces apart during driving in of the nail comprises a small wedge which is initially located in the outwardly flared opening in front of the clamping ring. This wedge, which does not deform during driving in of the nail, can however, easily be lost prior to driving in of the nail and can move sideways out of the region between the nail or shank pieces during driving in of the nail, so that it is no longer in a position to continue fulfilling its special role. Furthermore, the small size of the wedge means that its effect in pre-. venting withdrawl of the nail is limited.
- It is an object of the present invention to provide a nail which, after being driven in, exhibits a very powerful countering force against its coming away, and which in particular has a sufficiently large resistance or countering force to prevent it coming away from a base material such as expanded concrete which is soft and porous.
- In order to satisfy this object there is provided, in accordance with the present invention, a nail of the kind previously known from DE-A-1 625 348, with the nail being characterised in that said nail shank pieces are united face to face through the intermediary of a strip of plastically deformable metal which extends through said clamping ring adjacent the tip of said nail but which is somewhat shorter than the shank of the nail, said strip of metal constituting said means for spreading the nail shank pieces apart during driving in of the nail and said clamping ring holding said metal strip between said nail shank pieces.
- When this nail is driven into a soft and porous base material, such as expanded concrete, not only do the two nail shank pieces open to both sides, but the metal strip undergoes compressive deformations, thereby holding the nail shank pieces in their opened (spread apart) state from the inside. Accordingly, the two nail shank pieces engage with the base material in a dovetail fashion providing a powerful countering force which resists the nail coming away from the base material.
- In the nail of this invention the clamping ring is not only put around the outer circumference of the two nail shank pieces it also holds the metal strip therebetween. In manner known per se from DE-A-1 625 348 this clamping ring, placed at the surface part of the base material, prevents the nail shank pieces from opening at the base material surface and aids the nail shank pieces in entering deep into the base material, as well as preventing the expansion of the opening made by the nail at the base material surface.
- In a preferred embodiment of the nail a fixing ring is fitted and set in place around the outer circumference of the root parts of both nail shank pieces at the head part of the nail.
- The two nail shank pieces are preferably formed of a material which will undergo a plastic deformation when they are driven in.
- The width of said strip of metal is preferably the same as that of the shank of the nail.
- A preferred embodiment of the invention will now be described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
- Fig. 1 is a front view of the nail,
- Fig. 2 is a sectional view of the nail along the line 11-11 of Fig. 1,
- Fig. 3 is a front view showing the configuration of the nail when completely driven in, and
- Figs. 4 through 6 are explanatory views showing how the nail driving proceeds.
- In the nail structure illustrated by these views, a pair of
nail shank pieces 1 each having a semicircular cross-section are positioned so as to face to each other with their flat sides turned inward. A thin strip ofmetal 2 is interposed between bothnail shank pieces 1, and the three parts are closely integrally put together. Themetal strip 2 is formed of a metal such as copper, stainless steel, etc. Its width is made identical with that of the nail shank, but its length is made somewhat shorter than the length of the nail shank. Afixing ring 3 is fitted and set onto the root parts of bothnail shank pieces 1, to form thenail head part 4. Respective, symmetrical,inclined surfaces 5 are formed at the tip parts of bothnail shank pieces 1, on the facing sides of the shank pieces, so that the outer edge sides of the tips of thenail shank pieces 1 are sharpened, and an outwardly flared opening 6 is formed between the facinginclined surfaces 5. - A washer-
like clamping ring 7 is closely fitted on the circumferential surfaces of the bottom parts of the two.nail shank pieces 1 holding themetal strip 2 therebetween. Thisclamping ring 7 holds bothnail shank pieces 1 and themetal strip 2 in close contact with each other and, as the nail is driven in, the ring is pressed by the base material to move, in effect, upwardly in the axial direction along the circumference of the twonail shank pieces 1, i.e. toward thehead part 4 of the nail. - Figs. 4 through 6 show how a
structural member 8 is securely set in place on the surface of such a soft andporous base material 9 as expanded concrete. - At the initial stage of driving the nail into the
base material 9, bothnail shank pieces 1 will go straight into thebase material 9 in the closed state (Fig. 4) because the base material is soft. - As the tip of the nail enters deeper and deeper into the base material, the material located in the path of entry of the nail is subjected to thrusting and pinching pressures by the
inclined surfaces 5 of its tip parts. The material will then be compressed and hardened, so that it is more compact, when compared with the surrounding part of the material. A counterforce from the hardenedmaterial 10 is then exerted in the vertical direction on thetapered surfaces 5 of the tip parts of the bothnail shank pieces 1. This force separates the facingnail shank pieces 1 pushing them outwardly from each other as the driving of the nail proceeds (Fig. 5). - As the tip parts of the
nail shank pieces 1 start opening, the counterforce of the hardenedmaterial 10 acts upon themetal strip 2 placed between thenail shank pieces 1. Themetal strip 2 undergoes compressive deformations sinuously in response to driving in of the nail, thus filling the gap between the twonail shank pieces 1 in cooperation with the hardenedmaterial 10. Accordingly, thenail shank pieces 1 are opened outwardly wider and wider, finally to engage with thebase material 9 in a dovetail fashion when the nail has been completely driven into the base material (Fig. 6). - In response to the driving-in of the nail the
clamping ring 7 is pressed by thestructural member 8 so that, in effect, it moves up thenail shank pieces 1, so that it always stays at the surface part of thestructural member 8. Thus thisring 7 prevents the opening of the twonail shank pieces 1 at the surface of thebase material 9. Accordingly, thering 7 not only aids the twonail shank pieces 1 in entering deep into thebase material 9, but also serves to prevent the opening made by the nail at the surface of thebase material 9 from growing larger. - The
nail shank pieces 1 thus driven into thebase material 9 are held in their opened state under the powerful counterforces of the sinuously deformedmetal strip 2 and the hardenedmaterial 10 and the frictional resistance between thenail shank 1 and the base material increases in proportion to these forces. It is for this reason that the nail of this invention exhibits such a large counterforce against its coming-away that its drawing-out is impossible once it has been driven in. - The nail of this invention is formed of a material which undergoes a plastic deformation (permanent deformation) as it is driven into the
base material 9. The size and the sectional shape of thenail shank 1 are appropriately chosen, so that its dovetail fashion engagement with thebase material 9 may be semipermanently maintained.
